Chai Tea & Sugar Cookies II Food

recipe

What's the best thing to do on a rainy day in Autumn/Winter? Right, baking.
So I decided to share this recipe with you. Basically we're making some sugar cookies, which look very fallish but already taste like christmas. Beside that I wanna share with you a very easy chai tea 'recipe'.

Sugar Cookies

You will need..

• 300 gr flour
• 150 gr sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp vanilla sugar
• 200 gr butter
• icing sugar
• food color
• water

Directions:

1. Mix together the butter, sugar, egg, salt, vanilla sugar and butter until well combined. And form a ball, now you will have to wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the fridge for about 1 hour.
2. Prehead the oven to 180 °C.
3. Get the dough out of the fridge and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough on a floured surface.
4. Use cookie cutters, I used these halloween cutters, which in my opinion look really cute. Cut out as many cookies as you want and put them on baking sheets, but be careful so that they don't break. Put them in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes.
5. Meanwhile you can make the icing. Mix together icing sugar, water and food color, use the directions on the packaging, so the color will turn out exactly the way you want.
6. Finally it's time to decorate the cookies, note that they have to cool down completaly before this step. Feel free to decorate them with any kind of sprinkles or whatever you fancy.

Chai Tea

You will need..

• chai tea bag
• cinnamon
• milk
• maybe sugar

1. Boil the water.
2. Pull the tea bag in a large cup and add hot water.
3. Let the tea steep.
4. Meanwhile heat some milk, finally you can also use a milk frother to create frothy milk, but this is only optional.
5. Add the hot milk to the tea and add cinnamon on top.
6. Enjoy!

See you soon,

bye bye, mademoiselle coccinelle II life

 I've changed ..

Actually I'm just a girl, who wants to inspire people. But who as well struggels with growing up and tries to find her place in the big world. 

Back in 2014 I had that dream to start an instagram account and share my photographs with the world, unfortunately I never did. A year later I jumped over my shadow and my instagram page _mademoisellecoccinelle_ was born. 

Now in 2016 I still really like to share my magical moments with you, nevertheless I think I'VE CHANGED quite much since the beginning of mademoiselle coccinelle. I'm not that perfect girl with the brightest smile; a desire to be like the big famous bloggers; a passion for beauty, .. ANYMORE. 

I've learnt that being who I really wanna be, following my own dreams, taking time for myself is more important than anything else. To be honest, I still don't know who I am, but I know that I'm not the same person anymore. 

Mademoiselle Coccinelle was my first step into another world, a world I did not know at this time. However I don't feel like posting any pictures under that name anymore, so I decided to change my username into MYCUPOFMAGIC and start a my chapter on this online platform.

P.S: Somehow I've been quite insecure about my english skills, which is in fact (besides school) the reason I haven't shared much with you and I'm really sorry for that. 

I don't know if I will be able to produce more in the next time neither which type of articles, all I know is that I wanna built a place filled with happiness and magic. 

I hope you're having a nice day, never forget to smile and enjoy everyday to the fullest.

See you soon,
